September 10, 2016 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm

Register for an exploration into Earth’s deep past at the Rowan Fossil Park Community Dig Day on Saturday, September 10! Register online here.
There will be four 2-hour dig sessions for explorers of all ages at 9:30 a.m., 12:00 p.m., 2:00 p.m., and 4:00 p.m. View fossils found at this site, talk with Rowan paleontologists about their research and visit Fossil Park Store. In the quarry you will dig for 65-million-year-old fossils with your own hands…and take them home!

Once you have registered, you will receive a confirmation email with all necessary information, including a Receipt of Purchase, Site Waiver Form for all in your group, and Guest Information Sheet (directions, parking and other details).
